Issue of warrant
255 Issue of warrant
The magistrate may issue a warrant only if the magistrate is satisfied there are reasonable grounds for suspecting—
there is a particular thing or activity (the evidence) that may provide evidence of an offence against this Act; and
the evidence is at the place, or, within the next 7 days, may be at the place.
The warrant must state—
that a stated authorised person may, with necessary and reasonable help and force—
enter the place and any other place necessary for entry; and
exercise the authorised person’s powers under this part; and
the offence for which the warrant is sought; and
the evidence that may be seized under the warrant; and
the hours of the day or night when the place may be entered; and
the date, within 14 days after the warrant’s issue, the warrant ends.
